You reap the harvest of your hard labour. There will be no crops to harvest if you just wait for seeds to be planted and wait for them to grow. If you don't do anything, how can a seed grow? Let alone be planted?

Great post, @nicholax. What you said about achievement is not an accident nor a privilege, but rather the result of thinking and doing, is absolutely true. Every success comes from a combination of strategic planning, hard work and determination.
